Protecting your production

Untreated compressed air contains moisture, aerosols and dirt
particles that can damage your air system and contaminate your end
product. Resulting maintenance costs can far exceed air treatment
costs. We believe in effective prevention.

Increase your production reliability

Low quality air heightens the risk of corrosion in your
system, which can lower the life span of your air tools
and production equipment. The GAs filtration process
produces clean air that enhances your systems reliability,
avoiding costly downtime and production delays.

Safeguard your product quality

Compressed air coming into contact with your final
products should not affect their quality. The GA provides
the clean, dry air that will protect your products
reputation in the marketplace.

Reduce your energy costs

Clean, treated air reduces the risk of corrosion and leaks
in your compressed air system. A 3 mm leak could easily
add up to 1800 to your energy bill annually.

Protect the environment

With leaks and energy waste minimized and the unsafe
disposal of untreated condensate eliminated, you can
safeguard the environment and comply with stringent
international regulations.

Integrated purity
The filters and integrated refrigerant-type air dryer (IFD)
efficiently remove moisture, aerosols and dirt particles
to protect your investment. This quality air expands
the life of equipment, increasing efficiency and ensuring
quality in your final product.
